Used the TLC lesson 2 ppt.
Start the class with a journal.
Answered any tech questions (tweet of the week due tomorrow, discussion due tomorrow)
Introduce "Good Things." Do "Good Things" in class.
Intro to Attitude:
Have the students independently or in pairs pick a quote around the room that represents attitude. Go around the room and have the students introduce themselves, read the quote and explain why they think the quote represents attitude.
Go through the TLC lesson 2 ppt. Have the students follow along in their workbook
Have a student read the Henry Ford quote ...Agree or disagree? Why?
May their be a time that this isn't true? (My experience with wanting to play D-1 Football)
Small group discussion (How can I apply the extra 5% and whatever it takes attitude to my life?) Each group shares. Volunteers share. I share.
Two groups of people. In their workbook, they write down what group they fall into and if they would like to change that.
Speeches
First speech is tomorrow (1.5 minute about themselves). Explained what to expect, procedure of the speech, Procedure after the speech, ideas on what to talk about, passed out the rubric and went through it so they know how they are going to be graded, gave the speech writing format.
This speech is very informal. If you give it on two feet then you get full credit. However, I want them to know what to be thinking about when they are prepairing. I encourage them to practice with the mirror or other family members.
They did great with the attitude quote activity.
ReplyDeleteThey also did great with the small group discussion and then sharing with the larger group.
I am going to have to stay on students to pay attention to the good things. I may have to move students because they can't handle themselve next to each other. i will wait and see next week.
Went right up to the bell with instructions so I didn't give a launch. Will open class with it tomorrow (Charles Swindoll).
